Able Auctions warns that these aren't the "extremely rare" North American versions, but the "still very rare" European versions. "These appear to be the real deal worth quite a bit of money," says its website.

The whole collection of more than 100,000 items is valued at about $2.5 million, reported The Province newspaper. The B.C. collectors have asked to remain unidentified.

In addition to the trading cards, Star Trek bubble gum, a Star Trek commemorative book and a Heineken ad featuring character Mr. Spock are also available

For non-Trekkies, the auction also features five-cent Superman trading cards, the 100th Flash comic, and hockey cards of players including Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Manon Rheaume.

Sports memorabilia and more will be auctioned Saturday. Comic-related items will be on the block Sunday. Bidders can also get in on the auction online.
